JoCoPETS is a voucher-based program that reduces the cost to get your cats and dogs spayed or neutered. The owner is responsible for the co-payment of $50.00 for cats or dogs with the balance covered through grants and donations. There are no financial or geographical restrictions.
The program can only fund surgeries when funds are available. We are currently open to applications, but response time will depend on availability of funds. It is the program’s priority to help as many animals and owners as possible so we will send certificates as soon as we can. A certificate, valid for 3 months from issue date, is sent to the applicant. The pet owner sets up an appointment that suits his/her schedule once the voucher is received.
